Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said he believes the province’s improved relationship with China is proof that his party is Quebecers’ best bet at the ballot box.
Wrapping up a trade and cultural mission to China, Couillard pointed to 40 agreements, worth a total of $262 million, that were signed between Quebec and Chinese companies during the week-long trip.
During that trip, Couillard visited Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai.
Among those deals was a partnership that will see Quebec company Enerkem take part in the construction 100 ethanol plants in China by 2035.
Famed organbuilder Casavant Freres of St-Hyacinthe also agreed to manufacture a pipe organ for the future concert hall of the China Philharmonic Orchestra in Beijing.
